About Widnes Vikings & Your Lottery
Each year, Widnes Vikings run a whole range of inclusive initiatives that give people from our community the chance to better themselves physically and also improve their mental fitness.
Our aim of attracting new people to the sport of Rugby League is evident through the delivery of schools, touch and walking rugby programmes, while we have also increased participation in the sport from within the town through the growth of our Women's team.
Learning Disability Rugby League also gives people who have always dreamt of pulling on the Vikings colours a chance to fulfil that ambition by removing the barriers that had once prevented this from happening. Our LD Super League team have taken part in festivals across the country because of this, which even included being a part of the launch event at the 2019 Magic Weekend, where they had the chance to play at the iconic venue of Anfield.
Integral to the club is the opportunities provided to young people in our local community in beyond. This is why we have been providing Sports Camps during half-term and school holidays for children, including those who are eligible for free school meals, and providing all children with a free lunch as well as nutrition sessions and the chance to try new sports. The children learn from our inspirational staff and coaches, as well as first-team players who provide coaching at all of our camps on the very pitch the Vikings play on.
Everytime you play you help fund our Community and Pathway programmes.
You could get your hands on the £10,000 Jackpot prize, whilst helping good causes like ours at the same time.
